The COMPASS PLANT.-Loug before
men learned to poise a piece of
magnetIzed iron on pivot to indicate
the north, there were natural COM
passes, growing on the American
PrAirles, and they still flourish in large
numbers as reliable guide to travel.
ers across the American desert. They
are peculiar species of plant, called
the compass plant, the pilot <xeed, or
the POLAR plant, and have been known
for generations to the Western hunter,
although the scientific world has
known them but a short time. The
edges of its leaves are said to be al.
ways pointed due north and south.
An authority states: Repeated OBJ
servations upon the prairies, with
measurements 10y the campass OF the
directions assumed by hundreds of
leaves, especially of the redical ones,
have shown that as to prevalent posi-
tion the popular belief has a certain
foundation in the fact"
Captain Mayne Reid mentions it in
one Of his books as follows I'VE had
a guide to our direction unering as
the magnetic needle. We were
traversing the religion of the polar
plant. the planes of whose leaves at
almost every step pointed out our
meridian. 1t grew upon our track,
and was crushed under the hoofs of
our horses as We rode onward" The
traveller Burton also refers to it
Whilst IN the damper ground ap-
peared the polar plant, that prairie
! compass the plane OF whose leaf ever
tnrns toward the magnetic meridian. .
Another writer says Fortunately
none goes to the prsiries for the first
time without being shown, in case o.
mishaps. the groups Of compass-weed
which abounds ali over the plains
and the broad fiat leaves of which
point due north and south with an
accuracy as unvarying as that OF tn,
magnetic needle itself.

Yuma Wins.

In acknowledging the receipt of the grapes sent from this office, the San Bernardino Evening Gazette says:
 This morning, Wells, Fargo & Go. s ngent laid upon our desk box mark ed fruit. Upon opeuing the same We found that it contained several bunch es of fine, ripe grapes and the follow ing note:
 Golden Chasselas and Blach Ham burg, grown on two-year-old vines in the garden of Dr, J. H. Taggart of YuDa, A. F. Picked from vines, June l7th 1887.
 COMPLIMENTS YUMA SENTINEL
 The grapes were just as fine in fla vor and in quality as any grown in California, and are a standing adver tisemant for Yum an tn, cJul5ry thereabouts as grape country, and the fact that the fruit ripens there from thr.. weeks to q month earlier than in any other section, will cause land to rise rapidly in value and be the means of causing many people to go to that section and make their homes.
 Fhe public spirited citizens of Yuma have incorporated a company under the name-of tn. Mohawk Canal Com pany for the purpose of taking water from the Gila river. A large portion of the work has already been construc- ted, and lands along the line of this canal are being offered at very lew rates Amy one desiring information in reference to these lands can obtain the same by addressing John Dorring ton, editor SENTINEL, Yuma, A. T.
 Messrs. Dorrin ston and Tagsart will please accept the thanks of tho G. zette for the grapes and also the ac- knowtedgment that Yuma takes the palm for carly fruit raising"
 In accepting the acknowledgment so unrcsarvadly and g'ac f lily mlde we will say that the fact that Yuma can make the first offering of frui., does not detract in the least from the great importance of San Bernardino as fruit raising section. No more luscious frnits can he found than are grown in the orchards and vineyards of that large and rapidly growing section so ably and faithfully represented Fly that excellent paper, the Eteuing Gazette; and if our mem ory serves :s San Barnardiuo leads all Southern California in early ripening of fruits.

RAILROAD ExrENsIoN.

A San Diego dispatch of the 18th inst. says: "The California Southern people, it is stated, have decided to build their load to Ensenada. The company now have a party of men out examining the road, and a meeting will be held in Ensenada in few days to determine affairs in relation to this matter. Another party of prospectors are following out the line of the old Tom Scott survey, for a road below the line to connect with the Southern Pacific at Yuma, thence to Ensenada. This road will soon be built, and as they have a subsidy of Sl2,000 per mile for all the roads they build, they will probably carry it through. It
 will secure them an entrance into San
 Diego and shorten their distance from New Orleans to the P.cifc coast by over 250 miles, and give them a line which can make quicker time across the continent than any of its riva's. At the same time it will run below the boundary line for 8 considerable distance and can therefore be operated without restriction of the inter state commerce law. More definite devel- opments are expected in a few days" "

Gen. Miles says that the presen. Apache outbreak will not be a serious one. Of course not. So fur only a half dozen or so of hardy pioneers who had penetrated the wilderness to clear a pathway for advancing civilization and strike the first blows in the devel- opment of the resources of these oatposts, have been most foully mur- dered. The blood of Mike Grace and Wm: Diehl, and other victims, no doubt from the far away and lonely frontier, echoes the sentiment, "not serious. Not serions in the estimation of the powers that be, but sufficiently serious in the minds of Arizonians that they are determined that the Apaches shall be removed from the Territory ol scalped.

Hon. P R. Brady presented this office with bunch of Egyptian wheat heads, ra:s d on his ranch, that is a daisy bouquet anywhere m the utilli- tarian world. They are heavy with large, full kernels of grain, as bright and clean as a summers sunbeam. Mr. Brady sowed six hundred pounds of the seed, and has harvested eight acres of the grain, and next year he will plant as large an acreage to this cereal as he can prepare for the crop. This grain, both in quality and pro- ductiveness, is far superior to any other kind known, and few years hence Southern Arizona, and particu- larly the Gila valley will export large quantities of it for seeding purposes, besides supplying all that IS required for home consumption.-Florence En terprise.

A SCALP BOUNTY.

Mir. c. W. Culver, of Pinal, has in augurated a movement that ought to be received with favor by the people in every county in the Territory. He is circulating for signatures an agree ment bT which the signers pledge themselves to pay one dollar each for every hostile Apache Indian killed by either soldier or civilian, the limit to be one hundred such assessments. It is believed that from ono hundred to two hundred signatures can he obtain ed in Pinal county and enough more in the other counties to swell the bounty upon each scalp to $500 or possibly 5000. This method will bring in the scalps and no impertinent questions will be asked about how they are obtained. It promises some little compensation for the risk and expense of hunting down the savages and if it succeeds in making a larger number of good Indians than are sup, posed to be raiding the country no particular harm will be dcne.-Enter prise.
